Hamas says disarmament ‘not up for negotiation’ ahead of talks with Egyptian mediators
A Hamas delegation will meet Egyptian mediators in Cairo on Saturday for talks on a Gaza ceasefire, a senior official from the Palestinian terror group told AFP.
“The Hamas negotiating delegation, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, has left for Cairo,” senior Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said Friday.
“It will meet with Egyptian officials tomorrow to discuss Hamas’s vision for ending the war,” he added, reaffirming that Hamas’s weapons “are not up for negotiation.”
The renewed bid follows Hamas’s rejection this month of Israel’s latest proposal to secure the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
The terrorists said they would not accept a “partial” ceasefire deal and called for a “comprehensive” agreement to halt the war set off by their October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel.
